I thought we were going to talk about spartan races at windsor with Shazza. Us two sat next to each other and here we are chatting on over the influence about all things sobriety.
Picture this: Andy Garwood, a daily drinker, decides enough is enough. His turning point? An unfortunate burpee accident that left him with a snapped ankle and a realization that he needed to change—for himself and his young children. In this episode of 'Sobriety Unplugged', hosts Sharon Hartley and Ben Anderson sit down with Andy to discuss his incredible four-year journey of living alcohol-free.
Andy shares candid stories about the early challenges of sobriety, especially when surrounded by friends who were still drinking. Yet, his determination to be a better man for his kids kept him on track. He didn’t just stop drinking; he set ambitious goals and achieved them, from participating in ultra marathons to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. But Andy's story isn't just about his personal achievements.
His transformation has had a ripple effect, inspiring friends to rethink their own drinking habits and take on physical challenges themselves. Andy emphasizes the importance of writing down goals and reasons for quitting, finding support within the alcohol-free community, and, crucially, having fun and laughter along the way. Join Sharon and Ben as they delve into Andy's story of resilience, goal-setting, and the surprising joys of an alcohol-free life.
Whether you're contemplating giving up alcohol or looking for inspiration to stay on your sober path, Andy's journey offers a beacon of hope and motivation.
